Runde through camera

Time goes way too fast!
There were so many things happening that i didn't realised when i've posted last post! Unfortunately, the ones from my trips at April and May aren't ready yet, but i have something small for you to read earlier.
So recently i was in Aalesund but this won't be again about that city. This time i'll share a photoreport from the road trip to Runde with few comments on that.

The weather wasn't too good for this kind of trip as we couldn't see any unusual birds like atlantic puffins (and that's the reason i'll come back there!). It was rainy and really windy. Some photos i had to take in quite extreme conditions (for example: when my dad was holding my backpack so i wouldn't fall from the rock). But the island was so nice and the views were worth everything! 

To get there we had to take one ferry (Sulesund-Hareid) and one way road was less than 3 hours long.

I hope it will be on your list while visiting this part of Norway. I'll also share something like that about Briksdalsbreen.

I wish you all many trips and amazing weather this summer!
See ya!

More to do in Gdańsk

Last weeks were surprisingly crazy for me. I thought i might have published this post before my trips. Actually, I haven't found a free second to do so. But here it is, a small thing before the next two, a lot more fascinating posts.

At 8am we took a train to Gdańsk. There were four of us, my friends and I. Having a free day at school was an excellent time to get away from it all and go somewhere. The road was 3 hours long and before 12am we were walking through Długa street. We have visited the Gdańsk's Photography Galerie where was an exhibition of Zuzanna Szarek and Hanna Śliwińska works. It was connected to Czesław Miłosz's poem about apocalypse "Piosenka o końcu świata". Student ticket costs 1zł because of the UE finance. Also the streets were full of small galeries and i entered one with Anna Baranowska's works.

Then we walked to the Shakespeare's Theatre because of it's architecture. It is built of black blocks in a very strict style. The minimalistic half of me had chills by looking at it- amazing. In the information centre we asked for the way to a place full of parrots, called Papugarnia. That was our main attraction and it was wonderful! I know some can say parrots don't feel the same, but how many times in a lifetime i'll be able to be that close to this kind of birds? Tickets costed from 12 to 18zł as it depends on the type plus the seads 2,50zł. I recommend wearing long-shaved shirt- their claws were quite sharp and we ended up full of scratches.

Then we took a SKM (train between  tricity) to Gdynia just because my friend needed to visit "the best pizzeria ever" called Gdynianka. I haven't tried their pizza because i went with my vegan friend to eat burgers in "I krowa cała". And i really liked it! So those are two food spots which me and my friends can recommend. Ticket between Gdańsk and Gdynia costed 4zł with a student discount. Also do not forget to validate a ticket before entering. We had to stop on the closest station to do that. 

After all, quite tired and with a full stomachs we came back home. 

(More info: one line discount tickets for tram or bus costed more or less 2zł and normal tickets were twice as expensive)

I like one day trips like that but next time i need to visit Tricity for a whole weekend.

I can feel holiday time coming and that's all i need nowadays! But last weeks weren't boring and there is a lot to tell about; sailing for the very first time and newly discovered love to bavarian pretzels. Just wait for it! But for now, let's get back to reality and school work.

See ya!

Green, grey, yellow and white in Ålesund. Part 2

Time for Part 2!

On a very sunny day i had walked to the Fjellstua again, but that time by the car road. There were 2 small water tanks and one day,because of the cold, kids were skiing on one of them. And again; breathtaking views! I love that the cities in Norway are so close to the forest and nature. You can see a connection between both of them-so charming. I walked about 6 km and sat down to enjoy my lunsj- a polarbrød with brunost (their brown goat's cheese, tasting like a salt caramel). It reminded me of how much i love to picnic-mostly with friends of course. In Norway there are hundreds of places where you can rest like that! It would be my addiction if i had lived there-walking, picnicing, hyggeling almost every week. For the sixth time i visited Aksla and i hid there cause it had started to rain quite strong. But as they say, there is no bad weather only bad clothing- i had worn my hood and walked 400 stairs down.

 On a friday I was feeling too sick to do anything, so i only walked to my place to sit on the rocks and try Cokin filters.

I had also spent the evening and the next day with my friends but we spent more time inside than outside, so what about Sunday- I had visited the Atlanterhavsparken. What i loved about this place was the possibility of holding a living crab or starfish in your hands! Feeding the penguins or seals would be a lot better to watch if it wasn't so freezing and windy. (The tickets costed 180 nok per person, for kids were cheaper ones). Eating out is not cheap in Norway, but i can recommend you a nice place called 'Centrum Kebab' with my favourite kebab-pizza at the corner of Apotekergata and Nedre Strandgate, close to the bridge on Alesundet.

I got lost in counting days actually, but the last one was so magical. The saddest part was my leaving at 9pm, but before that- it was a national polish Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) so at the morning i had been going to the shop and what i've seen? Real snow! Everything was white and i felt like the happiest person on earth. Norwegian people were ready for Polish, with a huge shelf of doughnuts (which weren't as good as the ones in my country) even for a smaller price. I wanted to buy skillingsboller (cinammon buns) but there were none so i bought skolebrød (a vanillabun). A mixed Fat ttursday, because they have a Fat Sunday called Fastelavnssøndag. That's a bit more about their and mine important culture! (I just want to mention how delicious is their chocolate- way softer than Milka or polish Wedel- it is called Freia Melkesjokolade. Oh and their Kvikk Lunsj- so similiar to Kit Kat- and it is said that they love to take it with them for hiking and it is sold mostly on a Easter season.) I think that's all about food! 

Later this day i visited shopping centre in Moa which is going to be the biggest one in Norway, but it will take a quite long time in my opinion. I wanted to take some winter photos of mountains so we drove to the Spjelkavik area. It was my last walk before leaving and i wanted to take advantage of it all: the snow, the mountains, the forest, the nature, the wild, the moment. I was happy and sad at the same time.

And yes, i cried while entering the plane, even knowing i can come back anytime. There was also a bit of other reason why i cried but this one was more personal.

If you don't have a place where you feel such a big amount of love, i'm sure you'll find it one day, and maybe it will be or it is Norway?

You might have wondered why this post is called 'Green, grey, yellow and white''. As i wrote in the previous part, the weather was mixed just like that.

This one also took me a while to publish, but well, school is the most important thing for me right now and also last days i didn't feel like myself. But here it is, and soon i'm going to join the Pogoria cruise on Mediterranean and i'm planning to visit my friend in Munich. (And before thatl i'll share a small note about new stuff in Gdańsk)

Thank you again, see ya!
